The investigation into the death of Michael Jackson could turn into a criminal matter depending on the results of pending toxicology tests. Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton told CNN on Thursday that his department is awaiting the coroner's final report to decide whether to proceed with the investigation as either a homicide case or an accidental drug overdose.
A source also told the news channel that the late singer's family has been informed that the probe into the sudden death of the pop icon at age 50 on June 25 could turn into a criminal case. "The family is aware of a potential criminal prosecution," the anonymous source said.
After an initial autopsy on the singer was inconclusive, toxicology tests were ordered. With results expected in several weeks, Bratton said police have continued their investigation by speaking to a number of doctors who have treated Jackson over the years as they probe the singer's prescription-drug history.
"We are still awaiting corroboration from the coroner's office as to cause of death," Bratton said. "That is going to be very dependent on the toxicology reports that are due to come back. ... And based on those, we will have an idea of what it is we are dealing [with]: Are we dealing with a homicide, or are we dealing with accidental overdose?"
A source told CNN that doctors who refused to cooperate with investigators were issued subpoenas, and, if necessary, authorities will issue more as their probe widens. While Bratton would not elaborate on what investigators found at Beverly Hills-area home Jackson was renting, he confirmed that "a number of items" that will assist in the investigation were seized. CNN has reported that numerous bottles of prescription drugs were taken into evidence following Jackson's death, and other media outlets have claimed that among the drugs found was the powerful anesthetic Diprivan, which is not intended for private use outside a doctor's office.
Just days after the world paid tribute to Jackson in an emotional ceremony at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, more sordid details about Jackson's alleged prescription drug use continue to emerge. According to CNN, based on a confidential document from the Santa Barbara Country Sheriff's Department that was part of the probe into allegations of child-molestation against the singer — of which he was acquitted in 2005 — former employees of the singer said Jackson took more than 10 anti-anxiety Xanax pills a night to get to sleep. The document also said he often obtained the medication under his employees' names.
The 2004 document contains comments from one of Jackson's security guards, who told sheriff's deputies that he expressed concern about the amount of medicine Jackson was taking to get to sleep to another staffer, who reportedly replied that this was an improvement "because he was down from 30 to 40 Xanax pills a night."
The document from the sheriff's office investigation also reportedly relates a story from a security guard who said he quit working for the singer after Jackson "fell on his face" in a hotel room and hurt himself. The employee allegedly told Jackson around that time that he was not comfortable getting prescriptions for him and left his employ.
In 2006, when Jackson was first considering a plan to re-launch his career with a string of shows in Las Vegas, a promoter named Jack Wishna described simply as "deal-maker Jack Wishna" by CNN was trying to help the singer reemerge from a self-imposed silence following the 2005 acquittal. Wishna told CNN that while he was trying to land Jackson a regular engagement at one of the Las Vegas casinos, the singer would appear "drugged up" and "incoherent" during meetings and was often so weak and emaciated, he had to use a wheelchair to get around. Wishna said the attempted comeback shows were then allegedly canceled because of the star's weak condition.
It was around that same time that two anonymous sources told CNN that sister Janet Jackson attempted to stage an intervention on Jackson with the rest of his family, but was rebuffed.

Tatiata Kozhevnikova has been training her private parts for some 15 years. The confident Kozhevnikova has even lifted about 14 kilograms worth of weights (just under 31 pounds) to prove it. The video validates her claim.
Kozhevnikova has been exercising her intimate muscles on a daily basis, and she has been recognized by Guinness Book of Records where she holds the record as the woman with the world’s strongest vagina.
Here's what she says is her secret for training,
“After I had a child, my intimate muscles got unbelievably weak. I read books on Dao and learned that ancient women used to deal with this problem using wooden balls. I looked around, saw a Murano glass ball and inserted it in my vagina.”
"You insert one of the balls in your vagina, and it has a string attached to it with a little hook at the very end. You fix a second ball onto this hook.
Kozhevnikova also provides sex-enhancing tips for women
"It’s enough to exercise your vagina five minutes a day, ladies, and in just one week you’ll be able to give yourself and your man unforgettable pleasure in bed.”
Perhaps it's time to add a new Olympic sport. No doubt the male viewing audience would increase.
May we all find and share our true gifts, and may we truly enjoy the talents of others.

Back in May, rapper Cage dropped his Shia LaBeouf-directed video, "I Never Knew You," which was the young actor's debut as a music video director. But, there's more to the story than just directing a music video for a friend.
Both have been friends for years, and Shia's goal -- in collaborating with Cage for a music video -- isn't about getting into the music world. It's about making a movie ... about Cage.
In an interview withMTV, the actor revealed that he's been a fan of Cage for some time, and reached out to him over four years ago with a film idea.
"Like four years ago, I got in touch with him. It was super Hollywood, like an 'I'll have my people call your people' type of thing. But his people really didn't exist in the form of my people," Shia laughed.
After that, he followed Cage on his Hell's Winter Tour, and shot a bunch of footage, after which he felt Cage's story would make a great movie.
"I came out during the Hell's Winter Tour and started filming him on that tour for, like, weeks and weeks -- almost two months. We just jumped around, city to city, and we became friends that way," Shia explained. "Yes, I'm a fan, and I wanted to see him perform, but I'd always wanted to make a movie about him since forever. And so the plan was to take that Hell's Winter footage and go pitch the movie."
A reserved Cage feels a little shy about the whole thing, saying its strange to even think about it.
It's really strange. I try not to think about it," the rapper said in a recent interview with Decider.Com. I don't talk about myself in the third person, but I try to think about myself in third person when we're talking about the Cage movie. I try to keep myself separated from it. There's nothing worse than the first few years of getting restless; you just feel like an asshole thinking, 'C'mon, when is this movie going to be made about me!'"
There's not a time frame, or schedule for this project, but neither are worried. Shia plans to continue filming, and pitching the film, and says as Cage's profile raises, it'll be easier to get investors onboard.
However, he feels Cage's story will sell the movie itself.
"I want them to know everything," Shia explained of Cage's story, which includes drug use, physical abuse and a stint in a mental institution. "If you could just picture getting handed the sh**tiest cards, over and over again, and having to play with them. When I listen to Cage's music [no matter how bad things are], it's like my life is not that bad."

A full-fledged lyrical feud has broken out between Inspectah Deck of the Wu Tang Clan and Joe Budden, who now represents for Slaughterhouse.
While Budden has yet to respond in song, Deck has released a song called “House N***a,” where he proclaims “the war is on.”
The lyrical beef is a result of Joe Budden expressing that he was a greater emcee than Method Man in a tourney of the best rappers alive by now-defunct Vibe magazine.
"When I first heard the Inspectah Deck s**t I thought it was weak but I said, 'Aight I'm going to tear him up for fun," Budden said on BlogTV, a site he uses for live video blogging. "I just wish somebody else would've responded, not him... Me and Raekwon talked it out, me and Busta Rhymes already spoke. Now here you come...”
Budden didn’t say that he would definitely respond, but he did sent some barbed words for Deck.
“While Inspectah Deck may be considered a legend for the one great verse he had in his 30 year career, it's 2009...We'll see how it all plays out. We gotta see how it goes down when I get into the studio,” Budden continued. “He should be dissing RZA for not paying him. When Saigon dissed me, my next dis track was the fact that I got paid from his dis track. I don't think people really use their heads. He rapped on 'Pump It Up.' Me and Just [Blaze] got paid for it."
On the song, Deck admits to defending Method Man, who refused to entertain a battle with Budden.
On his blog, Budden suggested that he may use the feud to push his Slaughterhouse album with Crooked I, Royce Da 5’ 9” and Joell Ortiz.
“Honestly, dude ain't worth responding to... But I DO have an album coming out.. Might be buzzworthy to cook dude.. We'll see,” Budden wrote.

XXL Reports
While the war of words between Slaughterhouse and D-Block defector J-Hood has recently cooled off, Royce da 5’9″ says the dispute is far from resolved.
In a recent interview with XXLMag.com, Nickel-Nine denied that there’d be any more lyrical fire from his four-man super group, but insisted that the beef could leak off of the wax.
“We’re not going to respond to him because he’s a bum… just like Ransom,” Royce said, who’s digital EP The Revival dropped yesterday (July 7). “He might want to shut his fucking mouth. Detroit niggas don’t play that shit.”
Hood has been taking shots at the entire Slaughterhouse crew for the past few months, name-calling and levying threats on street DVDs. “I’m all for the battle rapping, but when you get to talking about what you’re going to do… I don’t want to fucking hear that,” Royce continued. “I move around New York how I feel. That nigga can’t step a fucking pinky toe in Detroit.”
“He can say what he wanna say,” he added, “but if he brings that shit anywhere near my circumference, I’ma take his fucking head off.”
The dispute began late last year, when J-Hood took exception to a Royce punchline. He told hiphopbeef.com the offending quip was, “I’m the one, really though/you just a J-Hood gun video.”
The Yonkers MC clapped back with “Watch What You Say,” also dissing Jim Jones, 50 Cent and Jadakiss.
In April, Royce responded with his rendition of Red Café’s “Hottest In The Hood” followed by partner-in-rhyme Crooked I’s “Slaughterhouse is a Big Deal.”
Next for Royce is the debut disc from his group , Slaughterhouse scheduled for an August 11 release. His fifth solo LP, Street Hop, is set to drop in September. –John Kennedy

USA Today Reports
Sahel Kazemi placed an ad on Craigslist selling all her furniture on the same day she bought the gun police found at the scene of her death, the Tennessean reports.
Kazemi was found dead with former NFL QB Steve McNair on Saturday, two days after buying the gun on July 2. She had also been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving early in the morning on July 2.
The headline on her Craigslist ad read: "NICE FURNITURE. TV, COUCH, COFFE TABLE AND MORE - $1 (hermitage)." (Here is a link to a Craigslist ad -- from its Nashville site -- that matches that headline.)
The cell number listed in the ad matches the number police got from Kazemi, 20, on July 2 when she was arrested. She bought the gun later that evening, police said.
Family members have said Kazemi was getting rid of her furniture because she was planning to move in with McNair. She listed a flat-screen TV, couch, dining room set and coffee table for sale.
McNair's friend, Robert Gaddy, said Tuesday that the former quarterback was not planning on leaving his wife, Mechelle.
Police have called a news conference at 3:45 p.m. ET on Wednesday to update the case.
